Buyers from four provinces and two states came and bought in volume from this big sale. With strong demand on the front end there was some good buying throughout on this red factor herd developed over the past 14 years. The cornerstone of the program, Moore’s Lariat was still very impressive looking at nearly 10 years of age. Dennis and Donna have been very involved in shows, sales and at the board level and will definitely be missed in Charolais circles.
